These are great. Are they drafting their own glove patterns from scratch or do they have blocks to work from?

They work from historical research and a number of different patterns i share with them for slopers. So some draft from scratch, some alter historical patterns, etc.

Thanks. I've got some glove slopers from years ago, but I've always been kind of intimidated by gloves. I need to just get off my duff and try them out.

They are definitely weird, but yeah, actually making them is how you get your head around them. I like the book "How to Make Gloves" by Eunice Close. It's OOP but you can find it in libraries and used to be on vintagesewing.info.
